Amazing benefits of just fixing oneself in uttama jnana  If one takes shelter of some knowledge, one can attain to the nature of God qualitatively and one is not disturbed by the creation and dissolution; the word sadharmyam is amazing because the word dharma means nature and sadharmyam means godly nature, so by taking shelter if uttama jnana one can attain to godly divine nature and the charecteristic factor of divine nature is atma ramatva - always content and ecstactic in one own self idaṁ jñānam upāśritya mama sādharmyam āgatāḥ sarge ’pi nopajāyante pralaye na vyathanti ca By becoming fixed in this knowledge, one can attain to the transcendental nature like My own.

  Because I am transcendental(Ateeto) , beyond(uttama)  both the fallible and the infallible, and because I am the greatest , I am celebrated both in the world and in the Vedas as that Supreme Person. There are 2 pada - ateeto and uttamah; pratitah - celebrated.....The lord is of uttama category - the 3rd group of soul of which he alone is member yasmāt kṣaram atīto ’ham akṣarād api cottamaḥ ato ’smi loke vede ca prathitaḥ puruṣottamaḥ yasmāt  — because;  kṣaram  — to the fallible;  atītaḥ  — transcendental;  aham  — I am;  akṣarāt  — beyond the infallible;  api  — also;  ca  — and;  uttamaḥ  — the best;  ataḥ  — therefore;  asmi  — I am;  loke  — in the world;  vede  — in the Vedic literature;  ca  — and;  prathitaḥ  — celebrated;  puruṣa - uttamaḥ  — as the Supreme Personality.
